2013

The first weekend of 2013 was gearing up to be a scorcher and we decided to spend it at Jervis bay a 100 odd square kms bay, about two hours outside of Sydney, basically heaps of different beaches and lots to do in terms of holiday entertainment. Since it was just a weekend trip I wanted to pack right, normally I pack too much or too little or haphazardly and miss my wardrobe options too much. I decided to put things together make sets to help me decide what to take,here are the things that made the final cut. A pair of worn to death and then dipped in multi-colour shorts, my latest favourite vintage leather shorts, vintage Harley Davidson cross body bag to carry my wrap+phone on the beach, band tees, missoni-esque sarong, and boots that looked a bit too new for my liking and I thought stomping around in them all weekend would make them more me, swimmers, a cotton top to wear over the shorts in case it was too hot for tees, a vintage corduroy shirt whose sleeves were hacked off in case I needed layers, I also took my flip flops and silver jewellery which you will have to wait to see in the outfit posts. What would you pack for a weekend away at the beach?

Ruby Wednesday

Red leopard pants: Dr Denim, Boots: Don't remember, Sweater: thrifted, Tee: Cut up thrifted tee, Hand of Fatima necklace: Christmas gift, Coral necklace: India, Rings: Various markets

This is my idea of comfy winter cosies, soft worn in tee-shirt over 100% merino wool sweater, soft stretchy pants, wool socks and chunky boots. Wore this in the morning because I wanted to be relaxed and snug, had a million errands to run, had to walk around in the cold and go see my GP. I have started on making lists and attempting to pre-plan and pack for the upcoming back-packing trip accross India buttttttt I cannot for the life of me pack light. Trying to pick just three pairs out of my innumerable shoes alone took me ages, I was super scared of hurting the feelings of my other babies.

I cannot think of much to say since the boy is obsessed with the Tour de France, there is non-stop commentary and the French country side is distracting me by looking super green and pretty. Hope everyone is having a great week, two more days to the weekend Yaaay!
